I don't know.....I am noticing that i can drink more fluid without feeling full...but yet...I am going to restrict myself and control myself. I know for myself, that is one of the reasons I got to be this big...because I Could.... I am (personally) going to stick to the diet....even though I could REALLY go for some mac and cheeeeeeese right about now. My wife and I were talking last night...and I said jokingly..."what if he did not do the surgery....he just made the cut and made it seem that I did so i would think so mentally...." Now I am going to ask for an xray....LOLOLOLOL

When I read your question I immediately thought about this video that is on my subscribers list on y Youtube.  She has a good way about describing things and this may help a little bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D5ZqXCmtyE

I noticed you have the lapband.   Your doctor has you on liquids for the simple reason that you have to heal!  Just becacuse we can doesn't mean we should.   You were able to eat the chicken because your empty band is not giving you any restriction.  You're very lucky you didn't throw it all up and possibly damage your band. Calling your doctor would probably be a good idea.  Also, you might want to check out the lapband forum here. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice all, I liked the u tube site. i now will think of this as a 1 time experience. 1 week left on fluids to make my whole life better, healthy and long term . Alive for my children and to see my mother grow old. I got this one chance to grow from all that have been . Now I will find who I want to be, maybe not all of what I want to be but certainly more healthy and happier with me. Here is looking to all of our futures, and for me forgiving my failures in the past. I hope all of you can forgive and hug your self too. this is a hard life.It can only get better . Thanks Kimi
